Housemarque has been in the business for over sixteen years, but it wasn’t untilSuper Stardust HD(back in 2007) that the Finnish developers went on to make a name for themselves. Since then they’ve racked up quite an impressive number of critically acclaimed hits with the apocalyptic shooterDead Nationand one of my favorite Metroidvania-style adventures, the visually stunningOutland. So with all this newfound pedigree, the team behind so many great downloadable titles has set out to self-publish its first title,Furmins, an action-puzzle game for iOS-enabled devices....
